IT WAS A ‘TARGETED KILLING’: San Antonio Officer GUNNED DOWN During Traffic Stop [WATCH]

This officer was shot in cold blood. Someone drove up to Detective Benjamin Marconi, who was writing a speeding ticket in his car, walked up to his window and shot him twice. Why aren’t people protesting this?

A San Antonio police officer was shot to death during a traffic stop Sunday in what the department’s chief described as a targeted killing similar to recent police shootings in Dallas, Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Detective Benjamin Marconi, a 20-year veteran of the department, was shot in his patrol car outside police headquarters, Chief William McManus said Sunday in a news conference. Marconi was 50 years old.

“[When] Most families will be celebrating the holidays SAPD will be burying one of its own because of an ultimate act of cowardice by a suspect who will be caught and brought to justice,” McManus said.

Police are looking for the vehicle the suspect is believed to have fled in, a black sedan with chrome rims and dark covered windows. McManus described the suspect as a slim black man in his 20s or 30s in a gray shirt and gray pants.

“We consider the suspect to be extremely dangerous and a clear threat to law enforcement officers and the public,” he said.

The shooting occurred in front of police headquarters before noon, McManus said. Marconi had just pulled over a driver on the south side of the building and returned to his patrol car to write a ticket when the suspect pulled up behind him.
